How to find out information about World War 1 soldiers who were killed:

The Australian War Memorial,
in Canberra, holds information about Australians involved in all
wars and other conflicts. Here is how to find out information about a WW1
soldier who died on active duty during WW1:

1. Go to the site www.awm.gov.au
2. At the right, under Explore, click on Roll of Honour.
3. In the Name box, type the surname of the soldier, for
example: Hodgman.
4. In the Conflict drop-down menu, select First World War, 1914-1918.
5. Click Search.6. Scroll down to find the details for the soldier. For example
"Hodgman, Harry" who enlisted at Brighton, Tasmania
would be the "Hodgman, H." on our Roll of
Honour.

Two kinds of rolls of honour are being referred
to on our website:

The "Roll of Honour" at the Australian War Memorial is an
Australia-wide database
of information about those soldiers who died in war.
The "Roll of Honour" in our school
is a wooden honour board listing the names of soldiers from the local area who
served in World War 1, some of whom died.
